[GregT] Worth adding that the remarks of the individual concerned ( http://twitter.com/sguod ) don't make the situation any better.

I absolutely don't follow the logic of, "This comment was offensive because of the way it attacked and vilified a community without sensitivity or discrimination, and, because it was said, AussieCon 4 and all of its members are bad people."

Reading down past the source of this particular drama to his earlier Twitters that night provides some much needed context.
